Mechanics of Solids

The process of finding a single vector which will have the same effect as a set of vectors acting on a body is known as composition of vectors. The resolution of vectors is exactly the opposite process of composition i.e., it is the process of finding two or more vectors which will have the same…

The state of rest and the state of motion of the bodies under the action of different forces has engaged the attention of mathematicians and scientists for many centuries. The branch of physical science that deal with the state of rest or the state of motion of bodies is termed as mechanics. Starting from the…
